Yeah, and honestly, this seems like something that the tax laws need to get a provision for rather than companies. Cuz in most cases, to even show the recovery of bonus, there isn’t enough salary left to pay by the time the employee has put in the resignation and would need an entire back pay for the previous months.
This was 5 months ago and I had reached out to the finance team of my company. But they said that it’s simply not in their hands to decide how they get back the joining bonus. Also, when you say raise a complaint to the Ministry of Labor, is this going to be a complaint on the IT dept?
